Meals for those boys who are not dining with their parents, will be served at the camp, and the lost \ children's tent will be included as part of the Camp equipment. Wolf Cubs will of course be wel- come, since they demonstrated their worth last year, and can be expected to do more good work this year. Let us all endeavor to do our work this year with that vigour and des- patch which should at all times de- note the true Scout, and furthermore let every scout consider it his duty to be present to help in any way he can. i i SCOUT NOTES The Kinsmen's Picnic will be held on Monday, Aug. 19th, 1929 and at $2,000,00 FIRST MORT- GAGE funds wanted on a completed house, Phone DAICY TIES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1975 the Boy Scouts of Oshawa tributed by the scout lead- ns to this column will be be sent to the not later than Tuesday 'least fifty boys 'will be needed for dut: ain this year. ; Will all scouts able to attend this picnic please notify their Scoutmas- ter, from whom they will receive further instructions as to their du- ties, We are sorry to hear of the sick- ness of SM. W. G. Sutton of the 2nd Troop. We sincerely hope he will have a speedy recovery to good health, S.M. B. Hall is on his holidays. We hope he has a good time, and returns . invigorated - for the new Scouting season. Camps have finished for the 2nd, 5th, and 7th Troops, and by all ac- counts the boys have procured a great deal of experience this year, which will be of benefit to them next year, ' Winners of the prizes at Camp Fi- fosh; of the 5th Troop were: Scout D. Miller--Silk Kneckerchief (Best all round boy at Camp). Scout J. Smith--Silyer Medal-- (Most tests passed at Camp). . Scout C, Hughes--Hatchet-- (Best Camp demeanour), : The last two prizes were presented at the Camp Fire on Friday last, while the kneckerchief will be pre- sented on Friday next at the regul- lar Troop meeting. The thanks of the Troop are due to Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Chant in again allowing the Camp to be held on their property. We hear that AS.M. R. Way and H. Hutcheson along with several worthy helpers, are quite proud of .the bridge that they built at Camp Fifosh. They have good cause to feel so, for it was not only good looking, but very strong and serviceable, A meeting of the Central Com- mittee of Scouting in Oshawa took place last night in the Y.M.CA, at 7.00 pm. to discuss the help to be given at the G.M.C. and Kinsmen's Picnics.

Ingham will be in town over the weekend when he will meet with the officers of the 4th Oshawa Troop, Task Occupies Period Cover- "ing Nearly Five Months Washington, D.C., August 7.-- The tremendous task of formulat- ing the estimates of the govern- ment's $4,000,000,000 budget for the next -year--the 1931 fiscal year--has already bagun. Congress, with most of its mem- bers away during Washington's torrid summer, will not be called upon to consider the problem wun- til December, but in the meantime a score of experts of the budget bureau have plunged into a sea of figures and are engaged in a fever- ish day and night task of turning them into comprehensible chan- nels without prospect of vacatfon or holiday until that is accomplish- ed. ' ' As the start of their five months' task, the budget experts are at present analyzing the preliminary estimates submitted recently by the governmental departments and ag- encies on their financial needs for next year. For the entire next month they will scrutinize every figure and fund to be allotted to the manifold branches of the gov- ernment. Then the budget bureau will re- turn to the- governmental depart- ments and agencies on September 15 the so-called regular estimates --that is, its revised figures of the preliminary estimates and the de- partment heads will be called upon to re-allocate the funds among their various bureaus on the basis of these figures.

'With this final serutiny, the task of the budget experts will be com- pleted and their figures will be giv- en to President Hoover, who will submit them to congress with his recommendations for appropriation of the funds. As deparfimental expendf-ures have been increasing in recent years---almost at the annual rate of $100,000,000--the budget. ex- perts face a difficult task for tne 1931 budget in keeping the total below the $4,000,000,000 mark de- gired by President Hoover, Last year's budget figure aggregated $3,800,000,000, but new activities of the government voted by Con-- gress in recent years have added large expenditures. Chief among these are the farm relief and government building programmes, the naval cruiser and military aircraft building pro- grammes, the Mississippi flood con- trol and Boulder Dam projects, the increases in postal deficits and tne undertakings entrusted to the law enforcement and other commis- sions. ---------------- CHEQUE AWAITING ~ LOST VETERAN Government Seeks Man of Long Disability Record-- $7,500 Award Ottawa, Aug. 7.--~Where is John Joseph O'Brien? This Toronto war veteran, ill and maimed after war service, torpedoed on the Carpathia patient in one war hospital after an- other, is somewhere unknown, and possibly poor, while the British min- istry of pensions' office. in Canada sceks him in vain and a $7,500 repar- ation cheque lies in the office of the secretary of state of Canada. Efforts have been made to trace O'Brien, who disappeared from a New York hospital two years ago, but the old soldier went out of sight as though the Hudson River had swallowed him up. He has never been seen since, (O'Brien was born in Treland in 1877 and settled in Toronto in 1902, having a brother there who was mak- ing good in the new country. i He served in the Boer War and then crossing back to Canada he went down into the United States and engaged in newspaper work. He | was in Chicago when the war broke out, The call to the colors in. 1914 brought the old soldier speedily back to Canada. Being a special reservist he was sent to England and was as- signed to 'the, 65th brigade, second | division of Kitchener's army and fought on the French and Serbian fronts, Severely wounded O'Brien was returned to England. He went through the English hospitals, being finally discharged on July 7, 1918, Ili and suffering he wanted to get back to Toronto, and so shipped on the Carpathia on July 13 for New York. | The Carpathia was torpedoed, | O'Brien was * knocked overboard | when the torpedo struck. In this | tragedy five lives were lost but O'Brien was in the water two hours before he was finally picked up by a British cruiser and taken back to England. Canadian medical boards rated him as 100 per cent. disabled for his pro- fcssion as a newspaperman and 80 per cent, in the general labor market. During one period of his better health O'Brien put in a claim to the | British Reparations Claims Depart- | ment and by them 'was transferred to the Canadaians Reparations com- mission, O'Brien was unable to appear at any of the commission's hearings be- ing in a New York hospital, so the late Dr. Pugsley, the then reparations i are not a problem when you travel with the kiddies--you can al- ways get wholesome milk and Kellogg's Corn Flakes . . . the treat that's so good for them at home.

New York and after hearing his case made the memorandum, "I am im- pressed with Mr. O'Brien whose claim I think should be paid." He allowed the full amount of O'Brien's claim which was for $5000. Com- missioner Friel, who succeeded Dr. Pugsley, confirmed the claim and awarded the $5000 with interest at the this SERVICE CLUBS (Brantford Expositor) Service clubs, come so numerous United States during recent years, are proving a genuine asset to all larger municipalities and, regard, five per cent from January 10, 1920, ! particularly fortunate. which have be- in Canada and in has been The organ- Brantford the date of the ratification of the | ization of service clubs originated but the move- peace treaty. prior to the war, ment was greatly accelerated dur- ing the world struggle, since it seemed to give men and women a medium through which to fina ex- pression to a desire to be of ser- vice to their community.
